Halloween v Christmas is the 2nd episode of the 4th season of Teen Titans Go!.

Synopsis

When Santa tries to take over Halloween, it's up to the Titans to save the holiday.

Naughty List Qualities

1. This episode attempts to mesh Halloween and Christmas like the film Nightmare Before Christmas. However, it was done poorly and it the writers NEVER LEARNED THAT, because they will eventually go on to do episodes that do the same thing and they failed too, these episodes are Pepo the Pumpkinman and Welcome to Halloween. It also shows the crew is unable to capture the magic as well as Nightmare Before Christmas did.
2. The beginning briefly rips off How The Grinch Stole Christmas, as it shows Santa stealing all the Halloween merchandise off the shelves in all the stores and when the Titans go to get candy for trick-or-treaters, there is only one bag of candy left.
3. Santa is once again depicted as a dictator. Since it’s a recurring theme in the show, it makes you wonder, why do the writers love Evil Santa so much?
4. The whole tactic of Santa blasting Christmas to get the teen titans in the Christmas spirit is laughable and it doesn’t work like that. Especially Cyborg who desperately wants to decorate for Christmas. Typically when people hear Christmas music before December, they’ll think it’s too early to play that.
5. Why do the Titans refuse to team up with the public domain monsters if they’re a huge part of Halloween?
6. Only the Halloween spirit is summoned and it makes you wonder why none of the other monsters just come.
7. The episode teaches a bad and highly biased moral: Halloween is more fun and more important than Christmas. This is not really true as both of these holidays are just things that happen once a year, yet the writers take sides Halloween and berating Christmas by turning Santa Claus into an antagonist

Nice List Qualities

1. The fight between Santa and the Titans is pretty enjoyable.
2. ”All Hail The Jolly Fat Man” is tolerable.
3. Raven and Beast Boy liking candy corn is funny.
4. Good ending: Halloween is saved and the Halloween spirit says “Happy Halloween to all and to all, a spooky night.”
5. The concept of mashing Halloween vs. Christmas in a Teen Titans Go! is pretty great and is very intresting, despite the execution (you gotta see BQ#1 for that matter) being average at best.
